TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that I, ALBERTUs LARROWE, of Cohocton, in the county ofSteuben, and in the State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful improvements in Gates; and do hereby declare that the followingis a full clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, making a part of this specification.

My invention relates to a simple and pract. cal invention, and one whichcan be used on the side of a hill or uneven ground.

In the annexed drawings, A A represent a series of horizontal slats,connected at the centre and ends by the rails D D. "B 0 represent thefence posts between which the gate is operated. The post B is providedwith -a vertical into which the ends of the rails Aare inserted, wheretheyare held by the latch t. Upon the inner edge of the post 0 are tworabbets, e e, one near the top, and. the other near the bottom, whichare slightly bevelled at inside, and extend from the edge of the post inadiagonal direction. Upon the face of this postC is a roller, which isplaced between two of the rails A A, for shifting the gate, and at thesame time holds it from being raised by hogs or other animals.

In operating this gate the latch t is raised from the notchrr: on theend of the rail, when the gate is raised upon the rabbets and drawn asfar as the centre stay D, when it is then drawn toward the operator andforced upon its roller to the front, and at right angles with the postC. By the red lines it will be seen that the gate 4 may be raised to anysuitable angle at the front and held by its latch, so as to suit theinclination of the earth. Having thus fully described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is Thecombination and arrangement of the-gate as hereindescribed, with' thepost 0, having the rabbets e e, and roller 9 and post B, with slot andcatch 13, in the manner and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand andseal this 1st day of April, 1867;
